@Winger You sure are as I had banked that as a sure gap in the Cup Quarterfinal. Now after you have fixed the obvious mistake it looks like you have got me by the short and curlies with just one pick different between us in the games to come! Whatever the result that is unlikely to deprive you of the win. In fact I don't think it is even possible.

Tipping results are up along with the tipping form for next week. Only 4 games per weekend for 3 weeks as each team gets a week off. Points wise, these rounds will be scored at 15 points per result pick and 5 per category.
Best of the weekend was Crucial with 62 points, a second successive 62 and now just outside the the top 10. 59 for Chimoaus, Mikedogz and Dogmeat on a weekend when around half of the tippers picked 6/6 results. Higgins retains his large lead, now 28 points with previous champion Hydro11 in 2nd and Bartman, Winger & Triple T 5 points behind in 3rd.
Wins for BOP Chiefs, SunJags and both Hurricanes teams means that the Chiefs take over at the top with the SunJags just outside the play-off places.
The Cup semi-finals are Winger v Laurence & Langakali v Dolamite - we'll have time for a 2nd cup comp as there are still 10 rounds to go.

Is the scoring out of 60 this week.
As above "Only 4 games per weekend for 3 weeks as each team gets a week off. Points wise, these rounds will be scored at 15 points per result pick and 5 per category." In other words, scoring is still out of 80, but each games is 50% more important.

It might be a holiday but it is still time to get your tips in.

Fuck. Stupid goddamn christian holiday.
First - great, I get to go for a ride, nice. Mokau for whitebait, and Whangamomona for some service surcharge price-gouging... 20% surcharge, when the only staff on duty are the owners.
Then - I suddenly remember that I can't buy 'offie' booze, and I have only 2 cans of beer in the fridge. Fuck.
Then - I finally come across this thread... and realise that my reminders for tipping are on my work laptop... and I haven't done shit about tipping until halfway through the first game.
Fuck you Jesus. -

Again - Fuck you Jesus.
But... yeah.
Also - fucked up today's planned riding by spending the entire morning in the fucking shitstorm of every other fluffybunny who also went to the supermarket... just so I could stock up on booze in preparation for tomorrow's stupid goddamn religious-persecution liquor-laws. -

Tipping certainly makes watching the rugby more exciting as your margins come and go when points are scored. I forgot how much fun. I was waiting for someone to knock on in the final moments of Canes v Clan. Any score either way was bad!
I was hoping the Landers got a lucky break and scored under the posts.

Results are in https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and next weekend's form is live. Curious half points dotted around the leaderboard now with the 1.5 multiplier in action.
Categories were tricky to get but both Duluth and Rico#1 picked 3/4 - but the massive score they should have had was ruined by picking wins for the Reds and Highlanders respectively. Nearly the whole top 20 picked all the match results but Tim was top scorer with 57.5 with 3 margins out of 4. Tim shoots up to 2nd but still 22.5 behind Higgins who lost a bit of ground to most of the chasers.
The Cup final is between Winger and Dolamite. We will make this over a single weekend and you also need to be in the top 32 this weekend to make the next Cup draw.
The BOP Chiefs won again with a bonus point to go 4 clear of Barbarians who are 1 ahead of Canes Black. Game of the round was a 50-50 draw between Blues B and Canes Gold.
Missing tippers in recent weeks are @justin77, Fiamacho, @Nevorian @Canes4life - for the SunJags, both Kruse & Joan and Mary took the default score for late tips. (merciful for Kruse as the tips he did put in were so bad)

@Kruse Stop your whining man
I missed the first week and a bit because it was what passed for high summer and my thoughts are all wood on willow not fucking footy.
At least it gave me a bona fide excuse for my low ranking rather than just being shit.
In my defence, I think the last time I actually watched a Super Rugby game Henry was the AB coach.

There were a shitload of lightning strikes - and a tornado - hunting for someone!

I stumbled across a screenshot I had of when I was second in the goddamn WORLD on some tipping comp - RugbyPass, I think... maybe a 6-Nations thing, or World Cup? Dunno.
Ever since I reached those heights, maybe I've taken it a little too seriously.
Should indeed accept that I'm likely to be shit... as I actually know less than fuck-all about Super Rugby. Except that Henry hasn't coached the ABs for a while... I know that. Because of every fucking thread about the current and "NEXT" (not yet "new") coaches.And to be honest - I was more upset about the stupid fucking liquor licensing laws around a religious holiday, rather than the tipping comp. Sure... Jesus happened to die for somebody's sins around the Equinox... but not mine.

Totally anachronistic to be sure. There seemed to be way more cafe's open up here than previously. A majority I would say.
My local had a sign up that you were asked to read aloud - "I am here for the express purpose of dining".
Once you read it you were asked if you would like a drink while you decided what you would like to eat - and to take as long as you liked deciding.
